Synthesis and application of N-hydroxy(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)amines

Аннотация

Data on synthesis, reactivity and bioactivity of N-hydroxy(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)amines were discussed in the present review. General approaches to chiral N-glycosylhydroxylamines based on reactions of hydroxylamine with cyclic five-membered hemiacetals or dihydrofurans as well as reactions of tetrahydrofuran-containing nitrones with nucleophiles were systematized. The application of N-hydroxy(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)amines in the synthesis of chiral heterocycles, aminophosphonic acids, N-hydroxypropargylamines, as well as natural compounds (for example, sieboldin A), pharmaceuticals (Zileuton) and their analogs was demonstrated. It was found that depending on substituents, N-hydroxy(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)-amines can act as lipoxygenase inhibitors, and show antioxidant, antitumor, antibacterial, and other types of activities.
